I've moved into a house where there's a hanging shelf on the wall which is connected to the wall by two thick metal rods with a screw thread on them. They are drilled rigid into the brickwork and have no idea how to remove them. Any suggestions gratefully received?? Thanks

Hi 2120bruce

Any chance of a photo. There's always a way, but I'd like to get a better idea of what's there.

Hi Proptech,
Thanks for the interest. Do you know I managed to free them this morning with a old fashioned bash with a hammer but thanks for offering to help. All the best,
Bruce
